DUBVR6 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Hi Guys Got the following prob: - Leads and plugs all changed pretty recently It's missing like no-ones business and the exhaust is absolutely honking of fuel most markedly after start up. It's idling fairly roughly/noisily. The whole car shakes. Also the exhaust seems to be getting very hot, it "tings" like hell after any kind of running and the centre consol gets pretty warm too !! Taken it to the local VW specialist and says it an internal engine problem??? Please advise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted October 16, 2006 You cleaned the ISV? May also be the MAF. If it was internal, I'd say it'd be worse than just rough idling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lottysvdub 0 Posted October 17, 2006 could your cat be blocked , i had one on a car at work , not a vr6 but a v6 gv 4x4 and one of the cats had fallen appart internaly and blocked the exhaust causing the engine to run baddly and the exhaust to get very very hot , may be worth a quick look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Does your car have a coil pack or dizzy? It sounds like it could be a coil pack problem. When mine broke down and stopped firing 1&6, it caused the cat to absolutely stink and the exhaust got really hot... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUBVR6 0 Posted October 18, 2006 yep, took it to the specialist, did every check in the book. And yep it was the coilpack gone. HAtE COILPACk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
